Gardener: 3-year azalea first bloomed this April after move from clay to pot. Asks about deadheading, lime-free soil. Also bought "Victoria" (likely Rhododendron 'Victoria'), planted in compost with Miracle-Gro, now drooping.
Drooping after transplant + fertilizer = shock. Water consistently, no more fertilizer, bright shade, wait.
Answerer loves azaleas, now has perfect spot for one.
Azaleas reward patience and acid soil.
